Does the flight sim in Excel count? If yes, then that.
Otherwise, Day of Defeat (Steam mod). Still dinere peeved that it never got the same recognition as CS.
Surprised no one has said MyHouse.wad yet
Son of biscuit! You beat me to it!
The thing that got to me was the darkend maze that seemed to go on forever. You keep expecting something to jump out but it never does. It just promptly ends and serves no purpose aside from freaking you out.
A great use to luminal space.
It was this .wad that finally tipped the scale for me in the fact that og doom is probably the best game of all time.
Doom 3 OpenCoop. There’s a few mods that convert the single player campaign into online co-op. At the time the competition was Last Man Standing, but I liked how vanilla OpenCoop was. There’s better mods now, and OpenCoop never left Alpha versions. Although the only game breaking bug is with the first teleporter sequence which kicked all clients from the server. Easy enough to skip that segment.
It’s a bit of a scripting nightmare since the game uses so many floor triggers for events never intended for multiple players. That’s what impresses me about the mods.
That or The Dark Mod which is now a Standalone freeware title using idTech 4 engine to make a fan sequel to the classic Looking Glass Thief games. There’s a TON of fan made high effort maps to play on.
Entropy: Zero 2 For HL2 was awesome
That one that made chun li naked at that pro gamer thing awhile back.
Doom: Infinite is pretty cool. It turns it into a roguelike. It’s amazing as is, and is still in beta.
I forgot the names but there are a few amazing X-COM / UFO / Terror from the deep mods!
Carball for Unreal Tournament 2004.
They completely changed the game to be a proto rocket league game many years before rocket league was a thing.
Save Our Ship 2 for RimWorld basically turns the base game into a sequel of itself.
Tamriel Rebuilt for Morrowind is also pretty dope and it isn’t even finished yet.
Counter Strike and Team Fortress. Both were Half Life mods when they started.
We played Quake World Team Fortress on the high school LAN. It blew my mind.
First thing that came to my mind: OreSpawn
Too bad that the creator went crazy
or he already was…
Yes, orespawn. that sure was something, probably was crazy all along. I am reminded of certain Skyrim modders when I think of orespawn
I came across the Star Wars Helldivers mod. It’s basically Battlefront 3 but man it looks cool
Black mesa. Half life and half life 2 modder community is amazing.
Endless hours playing Sven Co-Op. A few clips of my friends and my own earliest YouTube videos ended up in the NoClip documentary about Half Life!
Portal is basically a Half-Life 2 mod. It’s still got the fanboat asset. You can use the console to bind spawning a fanboat to an input, so there’s a speedrun category where you’re not allowed to use portals, but younare allowed to spam fanboats. Literally called fanboat%.
To be fair, Garry’s Mod is up there too.
The amount of customisation that one “small project” opened up in general, is astonishing.
Speaking of Half-Life mods, Entropy Zero 2 is a solid game.
There’s also some great Portal 2 mods out there as well.
Synergies for Torchlight II. It’s like four extra games.
Multiverse Mod for FTL
Its literally just a free sequel
Ooo I gotta look into this!
Multiverse really does feal like early access FTL 2
